The Los Angeles Sparks (17-20, 9th) are on the cusp of being out of the playoff bracket. The 1-point loss against the Indiana Fever (21-18) may mean curtains for their postseason hopes.
They must win 80% if not all the remaining games to stand a chance now.
On the other hand, the Washington Mystics (16-24, 10th) are officially out of the playoff race. They were a strong team till mid-season, but now their campaign is ending on a rather disappointing note.
Still, the rookie duo of Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron has left a deep impact.
Can the Sparks fend off this dynamic duo? Find my favorite Same Game Parlay and then the prediction here.
Plum has been one of the best WNBA shot-creators for many years now. The guard has felt some exhaustion but has managed to sustain a season average of 20.1 points and 5.8 assists per game. S
he scored 12 in the last game but has put up 20 or more in six of the last eight games. I see another such performance.
On the other hand, Plum has averaged 5.8 assists per game. She has delivered fewer than 5 assists in three straight games, but I see that changing here.
Plum O 18.5 Points and O 4.5 Assists
Here is an overview of the selections:
| Picks | BetMGM Odds |
| Plum O 18.5 Points and O 4.5 Assists | Undefined |
| Jackson O 1.5 3-Pointers | Undefined (-140 Projected) |
| Hamby O 15.5 Points | Undefined (-120 Projected) |
| Spread: Sparks -7.5 | -110 |
Sophomore Jackson is enjoying a stellar season, averaging 14.7 points per game. Her long-range shooting development has been highly positive.
The forward upped her 3-pointers from 1.1 last year to 1.7 this season. She has nailed at least 2 in an impressive ten straight games. I see her doing it again.
Jackson O 1.5 3-Pointers
Hamby’s defense has been suspect, but her offense has been A-1. The Lakers star has logged an impressive 17.9 PPG this season.
She scored 11 in the last match, but has put up 18+ in five of the last seven games. I see her following the trend here, too.
Hamby O 15.5 Points
The 4-leg SGP is all Sparks-based. They will take on a decimated Mystics team playing back-to-back, and their high-scoring ways suggest another points galore.
Thus, I expect a significant scoring explosion from the stacked offensive lineup.
WNBA SGP: Plum O 18.5 Points, O 4.5 Assists, Jackson O 1.5 3-Pointers, Hamby O 15.5 Points for +320 at BetMGM
The Mystics are in a tough situation. They have lost six in a row and are 6-14 on the road this season. The Sparks are a well-versed offensive team, but their poor defense has minimized their postseason chances.
LA is 2-4 over the last six games, the worst time to hit the cold spell. But I see them recovering here to beat Washington and cover the spread, too.
Sparks vs Mystics Spread: Sparks -7.5 for -110 at BetMGM

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
